Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is an epidemic that has led to many changes and transformations in individuals’ lives, which may even be called revolutionary. The most significant impact of the pandemic is causing high and permanent digitalization in every area of daily lives, from shopping to working from home, from participating in virtual events to education. In many countries of the world, within the scope of total closure measures, online education has been started at all education levels, and in this sense, experiences that are similar or different at some points have been gained. Online education experience in higher education has displayed rationalization in education and alienation from the profession due to the surveillance and supervision of academicians and the characteristics of the online environment. In this study, which was prepared with this framework at the center, in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 academicians working at universities in different regions of Turkey. According to the findings obtained from the interviews, online education in higher education creates problems such as surveillance, rationalization, and alienation for Turkish academicians. The details of these experiences achieved results, and recommendations for future education models will be discussed throughout the article.
